Browns Coach Todd Monken Focuses on Current Performance Over Past Film of Deshaun Watson

Browns coach Todd Monken faced a significant decision regarding the team's quarterback position, ultimately choosing Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders. Monken indicated that he did not spend much time reviewing Watson's previous performances.

Monken mentioned that he has not closely examined Watson's past film, stating that he has only observed it from a distance. He emphasized the importance of evaluating players based on their current capabilities rather than their historical performance, suggesting that every player on the roster should be viewed as elite until proven otherwise.

Despite the lack of focus on Watson's earlier games, Monken acknowledged that those performances are now outdated, as they date back six years. He believes that the emphasis should be on adapting to the current strengths of the 30-year-old Watson as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
